About this map

The Belle Fourche River winds through this section of Campbell County, carving a network of drainage systems that define the local topography. This 2017 survey captures the high plains landscape where the river is joined by various tributaries, including Little Piney Cr and Whitetail Cr. The map reveals a land structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township lines such as t48n r70w and t47n r69w providing the grid for ranching and resource management.

Elevated terrain features like the Yellow Hammer Buttes rise above the drainage basins of Yellow Hammer Cr and Deer Cr. Human infrastructure in this largely open country is sparse, represented primarily by the Cabin Canyon Reservoir and the transit route of Bishop Rd. The map also details the rugged depressions of Cabin Canyon, illustrating the erosional patterns common to the Powder River Basin region.
